Good day to all our visitors! Unfortunately, Sergei Senin, Gurchenko’s husband, whose biography is inextricably linked with the last days of the actress’s life, did not achieve great fame in the world of cinema.
However, for everyone he will always remain the beloved husband of this truly great woman, who brightened up her remaining days and witnessed the last breath of Lyudmila Markovna.
The parents of little Seryozha Senin heard their baby's first cry on February 8, 1961. This joyful event took place in one of the Odessa maternity hospitals.
After successfully graduating from school, the grown-up boy entered the Civil Engineering Institute of his hometown. Having received a diploma of higher education there, Sergei did not want to leave the walls of his alma mater and remained to work as an ordinary laboratory assistant at the local department of hydraulic engineering.
Colleagues remember his unshakable optimism and cheerful character, his extraordinary creative approach to solving complex scientific problems with warmth. Therefore, no one was surprised by the sharp change in the sphere of activity of the ambitious young man and his employment at the Odessa film studio.
Husband No. 1. Director
Gurchenko got married for the first time when she was 18 years old. Vasily Ordynsky at that time . He fell in love with young Lucy at first sight. Whether this love was mutual is a big question. This marriage generally still remains a mystery, shrouded in darkness. For a long time, neither those around Gurchenko nor those around Ordynsky knew about him. They say that Lucy married the director solely for convenience. She hoped that he would become her personal director. Ordynsky tried to meet her expectations. He invited her to audition for his film. However, the artistic council rejected Gurchenko's candidacy. Then the actress decided to end the marriage. Ordynsky was against it, but could not stop her. Their relationship lasted a little over a year.

Producer Sergei Senin moved away from the great actress to another apartment.
The family life of the wayward star of Russian cinema Lyudmila Gurchenko is bursting at the seams. The famous producer Sergei Senin, whose patience seemed endless, could no longer endure Lyudmila Markovna’s grumpiness, exploding for any reason. The previously patient man left home.
Senin hopes that his departure will bring his hot-tempered wife to reason.
“Sergei was the only one Lyudmila Markovna could rely on,” said a relative of the actress. “She crossed everyone out of her life: both her daughter and her granddaughter. Even her great-granddaughter had no place in her destiny. So Sergei couldn’t stand it and left... We hope that she will understand her mistake. At her age, throwing out such numbers is not only unreasonable, but even indecent.
Daughter
Several years ago, Lyudmila Markovna quarreled with the only person really close to her - her daughter, suing her for the apartment she inherited from her grandmother and letting her loved ones wander around the world. Lyudmila Markovna learned about the birth of her great-granddaughter... from the newspapers. But this news did not arouse in the cold woman a desire to reconcile with her family, but on the contrary. Gurchenko closed herself off from her family even more, even though her granddaughter tried to get in touch with her. Lyudmila Markovna just shouted: “I don’t have a daughter! I have no family! I don’t want to know about them all!” According to daughter Maria Borisovna, she felt her mother’s alienation even in childhood.
“Of course, my mother was not always cold with me,” said Gurchenko’s daughter. “But it’s unlikely that she loved me.” Mom was always busy only with herself, her career, and I was with my grandmother all the time. Apparently, her attitude towards me was a consequence of her resentment against her father. As a woman, I can understand her, but as a mother, no.
Husband
74-year-old Lyudmila Markovna is known in show business for her difficult character, hot temper and nervousness. Therefore, the appearance next to her of a man in the prime of his life was a big surprise for the party (Sergei Senin is about twenty years younger than the prima). The first thing that came to mind was calculation. However, as it turned out, this assumption had nothing to do with the truth. Sergei Senin, who fell in love with the prima of Russian cinema on the set of the film “Sex Fairy Tale,” was ready to do anything for her. That is why for many years in a row he, having gone into Gurchenko’s shadow, fulfilled all her whims like a faithful dog. He practically became a housewife: he ran to the store in the morning for fresh milk and eggs, because the actress prefers to have breakfast this way since childhood, cleaned the apartment and accompanied her to parties. But he never interfered with his wife’s social life, even when she was kissing bohemians in front of his eyes. Moreover, Senin always defended and supported Lyudmila Markovna, both literally and figuratively. Even when the actress’s health problems became obvious, Sergei Mikhailovich did not leave his wife in difficult times, but went through all the circles of hell with her.
The last time Gurchenko appeared in a public place was a few months ago at the musical “Beauty and the Beast.” Her husband was next to her and drove away annoying fans and journalists. Lyudmila Markovna moved exclusively with the help of Senin. It seemed that the old woman was God’s dandelion. It’s just that Sergei Mikhailovich never washed dirty linen in public...
Scandal
However, even the best rubber wears out patience. Recently, scandals in the actress's family have become a common way of communication. Gurchenko, already nervous and hot-tempered, began to explode for any reason. But more and more because of health and appearance: beauty is long gone, hearing fails, eyes cannot see, and even hair has begun to fall out. Lyudmila Markovna took out her anger and indignation on her husband. The last straw was the husband’s next request to make peace with his family. Neighbors remember the day Senin left home with a shudder.
“It seemed like the walls were shaking,” the neighbors said. “It’s amazing how such a fragile woman can harbor such crushing strength and anger?!” Her poor husband... He left home that same day with one suitcase. I didn’t even have time to really get ready. I'm done baking...

Life with a star
They say that time makes happy spouses alike. This is exactly what happened in the family of Senin and Gurchenko. Marriage to a famous actress left its mark on the man’s appearance.
Despite the almost 25-year age difference, he did not look younger than his wife, turning from a tall blond man into a stately brunette with a beard.
20 years of marriage have made the spouses the closest people, supporting each other, as well as assistants in all endeavors.
Sergei tried to embody all the ideas of Lyudmila Markovna, to which her unbridled creative imagination pushed her. Feeling responsible for his “daughter,” as the husband affectionately called his wife, he was her reliable support in everything, a “wall” behind which she could always hide.
Birthdays in this family were celebrated quietly, without the usual pathos so characteristic of modern movie stars. Lucy herself prepared a traditional feast with herring “under a fur coat,” Olivier salad, and potatoes. Most often they gathered at home, inviting only the closest people.
Accustomed to hardships since childhood, Lyudmila Markovna never expressed intense joy at the sight of gifts, no matter how valuable they were. And we are not talking about the cost of the gift, but rather about its significance for the birthday girl. Therefore, the husband thought in advance what to give his beloved wife, and more often than not, guessed her wishes.
For example, knowing his star companion’s partiality for cars, Sergei Mikhailovich pleased his wife with a brand new Volvo on her 75th birthday.
The hero of the occasion liked this car of an unusual shape, with a large rear window. She loved to drive herself. However, she valued not the technical characteristics of vehicles, but their external features.
Sometimes this led to very unexpected acquisitions. This was, for example, the bright scarlet Audi TT with seats of a pungent lemon color.
Feeling the constant support of her husband, Lyudmila Markovna devoted herself entirely to work. The last film, called “Motley Twilight,” in which Gurchenko acted as a composer and screenwriter, was offered to many channels.
And only NTV expressed a desire to buy the painting, which saved the creative tandem of the spouses not only from physical, but also from material ruin, since their own money was invested in this film.
The funds needed for filming were raised through numerous loans. Considering herself obligated to the NTV channel, Lyudmila Markovna worked tirelessly in the last months of her life, participating in the music program “Reboot”, 12 musical numbers of which were filmed on the project with the screening of “Motley Twilight” and many concerts.
Lyudmila Gurchenko spent the last minutes of her life next to her closest and dearest person, who so reminded her of her father. She even called her husband “dad,” although he was almost a quarter of a century younger.
